GB News issues

Why are there always problems with GB news channel.

Never seem to get the problem with Sky news.

Anyone else see this as an issue?

GB News have no money. They probably can't afford to maintain their output feed to a satisfactory quality.

Hi @tgill What specific issues are you experiencing? I tend to mostly watch BBC News but sometimes look at GB if I want a different perspective. Personally have never had any issue with the channel.

@tgill 

Are you definitely on Sky Stream?

There's a known potential issue with this channel on the satellite platforms because (somewhat ironically) it uses a transponder which is more favourable for reception in mainland Europe than the UK, and so is sensitive to even slight dish misalignment and adverse weather conditions.

I'm on sky stream with 4 pucks.

I have Giganet on  full fibre, with 500M wifi.

I'm fully aware of GBN using a transponder biased toward Europe.

However given skys dish arrays, I would not expect there to be

any issues with that.

When I have issues with GBN on sky stream, funnily enough

I switch to satellite which is usually no problems.

The cynical amongst us might question if someone somewhere

is trying to manipulate viewers?

Just a thought.........

Hi @tgill 

Welcome to the Community 🙂

We're not aware of any issues with the channel, can you tell us more about the problem that you're experiencing with GB News please?

If you could let us know the following, that'd help:

• Is it a problem with the picture?
• Is it a problem with the sound?
• Is it a problem with the adverts?
• When does this happen?
• Can you tell us the date/time that you next experience the issue?

Has anyone else witnessed problems with this channel? If you have, if you could provide the answers to the above questions, that'd be appreciated.

Odd, I regularly watch GB News in the  mornings from 6am and catch the headlines a good handful of times on the hour quick fire news bulletin during the day.

Not had any issues for some while with watching the channel on my Sky Stream.

Perhaps it's a particular programme you are using issues with.

Some of these news channels mind, Sky News being one, do have difficulty fairly often with remote guest invites and journalists live reporting around the world, probably connecting up on a flaky broadband line or mobile phone connection.

Do find, CNN seem to do the remote quest and world live reports a lot better with rare issues.

I likewise watch GB News quite regularly and have no problem at all.  As has been suggested perhaps a bit more detail of the problem may help.
